De Niro tells PEOPLE he likes that his character,Sebastian Maniscalco’s father Salvo, is “very cynical about certain things in a very Italian way — especially in this situation, with this very WASP-y family, country-club family.”
“There’s a lot to go after,” he adds.
“She’s strong. She’s tough,” Cattrall says of her own wealthy and eccentric character. “And she’s loyal and she’s loving … maybe a little too overly protective.”
Of witnessing the “master” De Niro at work, costarDavid Raschesays, “We all try to do it, but then we watch him and you see how it’s actually done.”

He also raved about howDe Niro pulled off a spot-on versionof his real-life dad Salvatore.
“He definitely has the nuance of my father, the attitude of my dad as my father,” Maniscalco said of the two-timeOscarwinner’s portrayal. “He definitely embodied the character. He really did a great job. I mean, my father has an accent and he doesn’t sound like my dad, but he definitely has the attitude and the relationship, I felt.”
Added the actor and comedian, “Even doing the movie, I felt like I was hanging out with a second father figure.”
